Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto.

SOOOooooo. I noticed that some of you knew I was referencing "Laying Claim" in my last chapter with Sasuke infusing his chakra into the ring and connecting the two of them. I really did love that story and I hope that author continues their fine work! However, I wanted to assimilate it into my story because it's going to play a crucial role later on, HOWEVER the actual story Laying Claim is not mine, my plot line with this particular 'ability' is much different, so I'm not ripping off her story, I'm just using a concept she created. I actually am planning the closing to this epic love and life saga. There will be no sequel. Sorry. I have too many fresh ideas to drag this one out longer than what's necessary. However the end is several chapters off, so fear not!

Also I know I haven't been updating this particular story as much as I'd like to. For one thing, taking a lot of time to write these has let me focus A LOT on my schoolwork. I basically have no social life during the school year so yeah, but my lowest grade is an 87. I also have two 100 averages in two of my core classes. We're a month into the semester, so I'm ecstatic, I've never had grades this good that have lasted this long! SO HAPPY! Anyway. I would like to apologize to those who have been suffering the lack of story to read. Also, I might not get as much time during the summer to write as I'd like, because I'm going to be taking summer school classes, (probably) NOT cause I'm planning to fail, but because I have to take health and P.E. I won't be able to schedule it in during the regular school year due to my bizarre schedule with my extra core class! I'm sorry in advance!

(Hopefully I can finish this thing BEFORE the summer that would be ideal!)


Sasuke woke up and went into the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee one morning. He noticed that Sakura was still there when he got up, which meant that she was probably off duty for the day. He wasn't sure how he wanted to spend it though. Training? Maybe. But he was too afraid he'd hurt her. He wasn't afraid to admit that he was stronger and more powerful than her. His only true sparing partner could be Naruto. He'd unintentionally mop the floor with anyone else. He couldn't explain it, but he had this pulsating tumorous itch to go watch Sakura sleeping. But he blew the thought away at being perceived as a creep. Instead he decided to make some breakfast for the two of them. She had just as many male mannerisms as him, because she would always wake up to the smell of food in the morning. He smirked, as thoughts of Sakura plodding down the stairs rubbing her eyes with her stomach growling ran through his head.

Just as he predicted the lethargic pinkette slowly lobed down the stairs when the smell of eggs and bacon had permeated into the upstairs room. She slowly slugged towards Sasuke who was still standing by the stove and turning all the burners off and dished up breakfast. It was rather quiet seeing that Sakura wasn't quite awake yet.

"Shower?" Sasuke asked with a brow raised after they'd finished breakfast and had put their dishes in the sink.

Sakura sleepily nodded as she slowly drudged back up to the bedroom with Sasuke behind her with a hand on her lower back to keep her from falling backwards. Sasuke scotched past her in the doorway into the room and put some stuff out of his pockets and onto his nightstand before throwing all his cloths into the laundry hamper. Sakura was messier and just threw her cloths on the bathroom floor before jumping into the large glass door shower. Sasuke was close behind her after throwing her cloths into the laundry for her. He wasn't charitable like that, but he was neat freak.

The hot water ran over Sakura's shoulders seemingly slow as she felt like melting into the tiles under her feet. Her eyes drooped shut and her mouth relaxed, partially opened. Sasuke could tell she wasn't waking up, but falling asleep from the warmth. After quickly brushing his teeth he hoped into the shower. Sakura didn't even realize his presence in the bathroom until she felt a new warmth directly behind her. The skin on skin contact startled her at first. It had been a while since they'd done this together it seemed like. But after a few moments she easily relaxed and leaned back while a pair of arms reached in front of her to the hanging shower rack to grab some shower gel and a luffa. He gently scrubbed her skin with the sud-covered mesh and then while supporting her with one arm washed himself off. Sakura was started to slide down towards the floor, as the warm melting feeling got even stronger. Sasuke was quick to melt to the ground with her in order to keep her from falling or hurting herself. But dropped the luffa and held onto her instead. The water continued to flow and wash the rest of the soap and shampoo suds away down the drain. Sasuke was starting to feel the side effects of the skin on skin contact, as well as seeing a full view of Sakura "all-naturál." Not being a fan of sex in the shower, he knew he had to finish this business up quick. He turned the water off and helped Sakura off the slippery wet tiles onto the bathroom rug outside the shower doors. They both dried off, Sasuke rather quickly and impatiently. Sakura didn't even notice the appendage between his legs starting to rise as if yeast had been added to bread.

Sakura only noticed when she walked into the room, still stark naked and reached for the door of one of her dresser doors. Her efforts were thwarted as Sasuke's hand firmly, but not harshly, grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. With one fell swoop he placed the other hand on her bare lower back and smashed his lips to hers. At first she was as stiff as a dried twig, but she soon melted into his embrace as she did the warm shower water. He eventually let go of her wrist and placed that hand on the back of her neck and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Uchiha's had a talent for kissing women senseless, and Sasuke was no exception. He knew the second he had full control when Sakura was starting to slide down his body like butter. She was gone in the sea of anticipation and ecstasy. Sasuke ingeniously maneuvered them over to the bed and gently laid her down with him on top. He gently placed kisses down from her forehead to her cheeks, jaw, neck, then down to the valley of her breast and made his way to the teat on the end of one of her mounds. Her back arched as his tongue made circles and a moan ghosted out of her mouth as his tongue flicked it and made his way over to the other mound. She tangled her fingers in this raven locks, pulling his face closer to her skin, in an attempt intensify the feeling. Her legs naturally wound around him as she tried to lift herself off the mattress and slide down on him.

"Not yet" he growled sultrily as he untangled her legs and continued his magic on her neck, leaving several love bites in his wake of sexual desire.

He knew that she was wet enough, but he wanted to hear her beg for him. As her face flushed red with all of his ministrations he knew that time was nearing. He flipped them putting her on top and held her hips aligned above his pulsing member.

"Beg" he told her with a frustrated grunt.

Sakura's eyes were glazed over with sultry desire, but she refused to surrender as she said, "No." with a gasp.

Sasuke smirked as he flipped back on top of her, ghosted his lips from her neck everywhere all over her body down to her seeping entrance. He kissed her clit and hummed a "hn" of approval as she moaned and bit her lip from showing her weakness.

"How about now" he growled into her sensitive pocket.

Sakura tossed and turned her head with her eyes jammed shut whimpering, "No… please no… I won't… stop it…"

Sasuke continued and even began to run his tongue around her cunt slowly and painfully causing her to fidget underneath him. He then looked up and saw her walls beginning to crumble.

He lifted his face back up to hers while running lips over her ear whispering, "How about now?"

"ummmmph" was the only noise she made tossing and turning her head biting her lower lip.

Sasuke wasn't about to give up this easily and flipped her onto her hands and knees. He poked at her entrance while having one hand massage a mound while running a finger over a nipple, he also had one hand rubbing her lower sensitive regions and blew hot breath on the back of her ear.

Once he realized that she was shaking from want and anticipation he asked again, "Now?"

Sakura nodded, but Sasuke ordered, "Say it."

"Yes!" she moaned out.

"Yes what?"

"Yes do it!"

"Do what?" he asked.

At this point he was just teasing her to see how far she would go, but he really did want to hear what she wanted him to do.

"Plunge inside of me!" She growled sexually frustrated.

"Much obliged," Sasuke grunted back into her ear as he started slamming into her.

Since Sasuke was getting almost every single one of her sweet spots (boobs, clit, neck, and g-spot) it wasn't long until she exploded and her walls contracted around him causing Sasuke to go along with her. Both collapsed on the bed exhausted. It had been quite a while since they'd had sex, and Sasuke had to admit that he missed it. However Sakura, he wasn't so sure. She never seemed it initiate it anymore, but considering she was relatively easy to seduce, he wasn't complaining.

Sasuke could visibly tell that he's worn the poor pinkette back out again, even if it was worth it. He wanted to spend some quality time with her before breaking the news to her that they were moving, as well as getting married through a marriage contact right before they left, but he supposed she could sleep until then. He simply watched her lying next to her until he could easily tell that she was fast asleep.


Naruto was supposing that he ought to go visit Sasuke, seeing that they were leaving in a month and he wasn't even sure where exactly they were headed. The blond quickly made his way down the street. When he walked inside he looked away red faced at the sight of Sasuke in a bath towel.

"Did I interrupt anything?" He asked sheepishly scratching the back of his head.

"No" came Sasuke's simple reply, "We just finished."

"Oh." Naruto said even more red face.

Sasuke stopped his rummaging through the kitchen to turn and face Naruto before asking, "Is there something you wanted?"

Naruto looked to his bottom right while muttering, "Well I was wondering when you two were going to leave Konoha so I could get ready in time…"

At that moment Sasuke's head shot towards the stairs and low and behold the pinkette was standing there in her own robe with eyes wide. Sasuke made a "tch" noise of frustration as he stepped towards the stairs but stopped himself, as she saw Sakura taking an equal length step back. Sasuke wasn't sure what he was supposed to do, but he knew that he couldn't take a chance on her escaping the house, he would have to hunt her down like he's done before several times.

"I'll talk to you later" he said to Naruto in a tone that suggest, 'seriously, get out.'

Naruto just back away slowly at the palpable tension between his other two teammates. It was best to just leave some things alone, even Naruto understood that philosophy and left.

"Sakura" came Sasuke's calm tone with undertones of pleading, "Please just listen…"

Sakura stood frozen for a few seconds more before bolting for the bedroom, Sasuke in close pursuit. He was able to grab the edge of her bathrobe just as she was about to jump out of the window. Sakura was uncomfortably teetering on the edge of the window seal over the ghost town Uchiha district, however their window being on the second floor was easily visible from outside the Uchiha compound walls.

"Jump I dare you" came Sasuke's cool and collected voice now knowing he had full control of the situation.

Sakura backed down slowly from the window seal wiping the sweat from her brow that had been brought on by the anxiety of almost jumping out a window naked. Sasuke grabbed the back of her robe and somewhat gently pushed her over to the bed and made her sit on the edge and he kneeled in front of her.

"Please try to understand…" came his husky voice with hints of hidden uncertainty, "It's too dangerous for us to stay here in Konoha where we can easily be found…"

"But you can protect me!" Sakura protested desperately.

Sasuke waved a hand in front of her face to cut her off, "Sometimes it's wiser to avoid a fight, besides, it's easier to protect you if we hide than if we're just out in the open. Also, how easy do you think it will be to protect our future child in this type of situation?"

Sakura began to cry as she retorted, "Then I won't have children!"

"We both know that won't work" Sasuke said shaking his head wiping a few of her tears away as he cupped her face in his hands, "It's not practical, plus, I still need to protect you, and myself."

"Why is protecting yourself hard?" She asked in disbelief at what he was saying.

Sasuke looked down at the floor as he calmly explained, "Even my abilities have limits Sakura. I have a bad feeling about who we're up against. I've had Kakashi doing reconnaissance on this 'Madara' person and I haven't found a single weakness, flow, advantage, or anything that could possibly help me defeat him. It's bothering… and it's better to hide from the opponent until more is found out then the trudge head first like I almost did and think you can win."

Sakura nodded still pouring tears from her eyes. She wasn't ready to leave everything she'd ever know. She loved Konoha and she loved everyone in it. Her job as a head nurse at the hospital put her in a position to know several villagers and tightly connect her with everyone as if she were the Hokage. However she knew that if she left Konoha she would have to start all over, she would only know Sasuke, and would probably become a recluse out of fear of being in new surroundings under a pretext of hiding to save her life. No one wanted that.

"Lighten up" Sasuke said as he walked over to the other side of the room and tossed a box of tissues at her then leaning on the wall with his arms crossed, "It's not like we're going to be alone. Everyone else is coming too."

Sakura looked up in disbelief as she asked, "How can Tsunade afford to send that many anbus?"

"Because she cares about you that much…" was Sasuke simple yet truthful reply.

The two had a moment of silence as Sakura dried the rest of her tears quickly at the prospect of not truly being alone.

"What's the plan?" Sakura asked as she set the tissue box on the nightstand of the bed and rubbed her eyes.

Sasuke got up from leaning on the wall and walked back over to her a pulled a scroll out of his dresser drawer and handed it to her. Sakura opened the scroll and her eyes widened a little. It was a marriage contract. She wasn't sure exactly why they were just signing a contract and nothing else, but it was Sasuke, and she didn't want a frilly ceremony either since they'd been living together for a while there wouldn't really be anything "magical" about it. She bit her thumb and spread the blood on her fingers the slammed them down onto a box outline on the scroll and rolled it back up and handed it to Sasuke. Shinobi marriage contracts were a lot like summoning contracts the way that they were signed, but you couldn't summon each other like an animal summoning contract. After Sakura handed it back to Sasuke, he tied a gold tassel around it then put it inside of a messenger hawk holder and sent it to the Hokage tower to be archived. They were officially married. The only dreaded occurrence to plan now was the move to the land of the crescent moon.
